I wanted to see if it was just hype.
I plug in my 256mb old flashdrive and it wasnt fast enough.
It was time to buy a dedicated readyboost drive.
I checked online, Staples has a 1gb Sandisk m2 on sale for 19.99.
Buy it, come home, plug it in, go through the steps. I reboot. Windows loads in like 7 seconds, from like 30 seconds.
Also, my audio was skipping (ac97) and this seems to have cured that problem.
Best 20 bucks I ever spent.
Oh and I finally found a use for the internal usb port on my usb 2.0 card - ready boost drive!

Have hybrids actually been released yet? I'm really, really looking forward to them when they get cheap enough, but I assumed they were still in the lab. -
